After returning home, Meng Ruyi always felt that Song Huaizhi was acting a bit strange.
She couldn't quite put her finger on it, but something was definitely off. Meng Ruyi would bet her bottom dollar that Song Huaizhi must be hiding a little secret from her.
Maybe it was a surprise?
Anyway, Song Huaizhi would never do anything to harm her. So Meng Ruyi, full of curiosity, waited for the surprise.
The number of bullet comments had decreased significantly, just like the crowd dispersing after a show.
At first, Meng Ruyi really wasn't used to it. Although those guys had gloated at the beginning, always bossed them around, and watched them like they were a show,
she had to admit that they had indeed helped her a lot. They were like those friends who loved to cause trouble at first sight but gradually changed and even planned things from her perspective.
Over the years, Meng Ruyi had even gotten used to their presence and would occasionally take a look at their comments.
But that was before she returned home.
The number of bullet comments dropped sharply. Occasionally, Meng Ruyi would see one or two that said something like "Come and open Didi to see how Yuyu is today" and then they would disappear like a dream.
Across the line between the virtual and the real, although she felt reluctant, saying goodbye was the best choice.
The guys behind the bullet comments were like onlookers, observing Meng Ruyi and the others' lives from above, while Meng Ruyi, by a twist of fate, had managed to catch a glimpse of the truth and see the colors of another world.
But her own world was still the best.
Somehow, the moment Meng Ruyi got home, she vaguely knew the reason why she could see the bullet comments. The resentment of those who died a tragic death was too strong, and it wasn't just her. There were also the people who died with grievances because of Zheng Yuanjia's stupidity and arrogance.
Maybe it was this force that allowed her to see those behind the scenes who controlled this world and then change her own fate. Now that everything was back on track, Meng Ruyi also anticipated that the bullet comments would disappear. So she took it easy and would occasionally take a look at them as a way of saying goodbye.
Song Huaizhi was very busy, and Meng Ruyi was eager to take over the family business.
She hadn't been in the capital for long, but Meng Ruyi had learned a lot from the various power struggles, which was enough for her to handle these complicated but not overly difficult matters.
So when she noticed that the house next door seemed to be under renovation, Meng Ruyi asked Song Huaizhi in surprise, "Brother Song, are Gu Ling and the others coming back?"
Song Huaizhi looked at the confusion on Meng Ruyi's face. After a careful look, he didn't see any longing for Gu Ling in her eyes. Immediately, he said gently, "I don't know. He didn't say anything. Maybe the house is old, so they just renovated it. Anyway, the Tang family is rich and doesn't care about this little money."
That made sense.
Meng Ruyi nodded and continued looking at the account books in the book, not noticing that the person beside her had been staring at her intently, with a faint smile in his eyes, full of gentle tolerance.
There was also good news. Zhang Yunyun was pregnant.
It was already midnight on the day Meng Ruyi got home, but Zhang Yunyun rushed over in a hurry, followed by Li Yun, who was sweating profusely with anxiety.
After not seeing each other for a few months, Zhang Yunyun's face had suddenly become a lot rounder. When she got closer, Meng Ruyi heard Li Yun say, "My dear, you're pregnant. You shouldn't be too excited."
Although Zhang Yunyun was pregnant, she was still as cheerful and generous as before. She had a good talk with Meng Ruyi and carefully examined her. Seeing that Meng Ruyi was okay, she said with relief, "I thought you weren't coming back."
"How could that be?"
Meng Ruyi was surprised and said to Zhang Yunyun, "My home is here."
Zhang Yunyun was stunned for a moment and then laughed, "That's right. The capital is prosperous, but you don't care about these things."
"It's great. When my child is born, you can be the godmother."
"Of course!"
Meng Ruyi carefully looked at her belly. It wasn't very obvious yet, but she looked chubbier all over. So she asked, "How many months are you?"
"A little over three months."
As Zhang Yunyun was speaking, seeing the tiredness under Meng Ruyi's eyes, she sighed and said, "Get some rest. I'll come to see you in a few days."
"By the way." Zhang Yunyun leaned over and whispered a good news in Meng Ruyi's ear, "Li Yun and I also plan to stay here. We're not leaving."
"Ah?"
Li Yun was once a top scholar! This...
Meng Ruyi was shocked, but then she saw Zhang Yunyun smiling and stroking her belly.
Li Yun beside her knew what Zhang Yunyun had said just by looking at Meng Ruyi's expression. So he explained, "Miss Meng, don't worry. I've already partnered with Mr. Song and plan to go into business together."
"I've always had a weak family bond. I had a hard time raising my sister until I met Yunyun. Only then did I really have a home." As Li Yun was speaking, his eyes were all on Zhang Yunyun, gentle and affectionate. "I don't plan to do any more dangerous things. I just hope to give Yunyun a stable home. That's enough."
Looking at this loving couple in front of her, Meng Ruyi felt a complicated emotion welling up in her heart. She couldn't help but pat Zhang Yunyun on the shoulder and say, "That's good."
Then, Meng Ruyi leaned over and whispered her blessing in Zhang Yunyun's ear, "Congratulations, Yunyun. You finally have the home you've always imagined."
Zhang Yunyun nodded, with a slight glisten in her eyes. Immediately, Li Yun beside her looked as if facing a great enemy and took out a handkerchief to nervously wipe away her tears.
...
It wasn't until the renovation of the Gu Mansion next door was completed that Meng Ruyi heard Xu Fanglian ask her when she and Song Huaizhi were going to get engaged.
Originally, they had planned to get engaged first and then get married.
But Meng Ruyi noticed that there were business opportunities everywhere now. Naturally, she wouldn't let this chance slip by. So she planned to get married to Song Huaizhi directly. That way, they could save some time and earn more money.
Song Huaizhi, who knew the truth: "..."
So the wedding was set for the next spring. It would be a good time when the flowers were in bloom.
After they set the date, the things they were busy with immediately became planning for the wedding. Meng Ruyi was even dragged by the impatient Xu Fanglian to try on a lot of wedding dresses.
It turned out that Xu Fanglian had prepared her own wedding dresses long ago. Each one was incredibly beautiful, but they were all compared together as if they were free.
After trying on the wedding dresses, they still had to embroider the dowry.
Song Huaizhi, who knew very well about Meng Ruyi's embroidery skills, naturally didn't want her to do it for fear that she would hurt her hand. So he prepared everything early on to help Meng Ruyi fool her parents.
The embroidery on the small items like handkerchiefs was just average, about the same level as Meng Ruyi's.
At first, she was curious about where Song Huaizhi had found the embroiderer.
Later, the mysterious bullet comments answered her question.
【Hahaha, these were all embroidered by Brother Song. Rare! Even the all - around Brother Song's embroidery skills are as average as Yuyu's. Hahaha】
【Brother Song embroidered them himself for good luck. He embroidered really fast, but...】
Meng Ruyi: "..."
The answer was really unexpected.
As the wedding invitations were sent out at full speed, the wedding day was getting closer day by day.
